Which statement best explains why correct protein folding is critical in the transmembrane protein shown above?

1 answer:

4 0

The statement 'interactions of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids help to anchor the protein in the membrane' explains why protein folding is critical. This process is fundamental for the function of transmembrane proteins.

Protein folding refers to the process by which a polypeptide (i.e., a protein) adopts its final tridimensional 3D shape (conformation).

In a protein, some amino acids contain hydrophilic R groups, whereas other amino acids contain hydrophobic R groups.

During protein folding, hydrophobic amino acids are arranged so they can interact with the long chains of the fatty acids in the internal region of the lipid bilayer, whereas hydrophilic amino acids are arranged so they interact with water on the surface of the cell membrane.

Answer:

P. aeruginosa

Explanation:

P. aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacteria that belongs to the family Pseudomonadaceae.

From the given question the following points lead us to conclude that the colony that will be growing would be of P. aeruginosa :

1. Flat spreading colonies with a metallic sheen on SBA - P. aeruginosa is known to produce smooth colonies with flat edges.

2. Fluorescent green color in the media with clear colonies on cetrimide agar - P. aeruginosa is known to produce pyoverdin which is a fluorescent pigment under low iron conditions.

3. Medium clear colonies that have a "fruity or grape-like odor" on MacConkey Agar - P. aeruginosa has a sweet fruity odor which is its characteristic odor because of the production of trimethylamine.

Thus, from all these characteristics one can conclude that the organism in the culture is P. aeruginosa.
